We welcome Marco Palombo as the founding Editor-in-Chief of Medical Sensors & Imaging, a new open access journal that we publish in collaboration with IPEM.
Dr. Palombo brings exceptional expertise to the journal. As an Associate Professor at Cardiff University, Head of Microstructure Imaging at CUBRIC, and a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, he combines academic leadership with cutting-edge research. His work spans medical image analysis and processing, biophysical and computational modelling, and AI for healthcare—advancing methods that transform complex sensor and imaging data into quantitative, interpretable biomarkers of tissue structure and function.
With a commitment to open, reproducible research, rigorous benchmarking, and strong links across academic, hospitals, and industry, Dr. Palombo will lead Medical Sensors & Imaging in setting new standards for innovation and impact at the intersection of sensing technologies, modelling, and AI.
We also welcome Xiliang Luo (Qingdao University of Science and Technology, China) as the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the journal
Prof. Luo's research focuses on developing innovative sensing and imaging technologies for precise medical diagnostics. He pioneered the concept of "antifouling electrochemical biosensors" for reliable biomarker detection in complex biofluids and has contributed to advancing wearable sensors and high-precision cellular imaging platforms.
"I am honoured to join Medical Sensors & Imaging as Deputy Editor-in-Chief. I look forward to collaborating with the editorial team to support the publication of transformative research that bridges cutting-edge sensor technology with clinical imaging applications, ultimately contributing to advanced diagnostics and personalized healthcare."
Why should you publish in Medical Sensors & Imaging?
- Rigorous and fair peer review: peer review is administered by the in-house editorial office in consultation with the Editor-in-Chief and with direct support from the Editorial Board. We aim for two reviewer reports on every article, ensuring quality and fairness.
- Fast: we are committed to providing you with a fast, professional service to ensure rapid first decision, acceptance and publication. We aim to accept articles in under 120 days. Once accepted, your article will be accessible to readers within 24 hours and will include a citable DOI.
- Transfer opportunities: as well as accepting direct submissions, the journal also offers you a quick and easy solution to transfer your manuscript from another IOP Publishing journal if it does not fit that journal's scope or significance criteria. Articles are transferred along with peer review reports to save time and avoid duplication of work for reviewers.
- International Editorial Board: scientific leadership for Medical Sensors & Imaging is provided by an Editorial Board of prominent researchers and supported by a large international advisory board, with a diverse scientific and geographical distribution.
- Society owned: published by IOP Publishing, on behalf of IPEM, both of which are not-for-profit companies. Revenue generated by the journal is used by both organisations (IOP and IPEM) to promote and advance the understanding and dissemination of science in the UK and across the world.
- Article flexibility: there are no page limits or forced requirements for formatting submissions, and we publish any supplementary data at no extra charge. Let us know if you have any other requirements and we will be happy to help.
